I'm going to have to find a teal house just to taunt you two... :-)<BR/><BR/>Double D, I haven't met the occupants of the house, but in my mind they look like characters out of a fairy tale. I'll be so disappointed when I find out they're merely human!<BR/><BR/>Welcome bertn! I think colors like this are definitely a love or hate kind of thing. (You can tell which side I am on, huh?)<BR/><BR/>Mister Earl, I must check out that film. And you remind me... it's time to do a post about Trader Joes!<BR/><BR/>Hi Isadora! I'm glad to see you back. Thanks for the nice words about being a mom. :-)<BR/><BR/>The next house photograph I post will be a classic Craftsman -- something South Pas is known for. I just have to pick which one I want to highlight...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being here, everyone!Laurie Alleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460272282273523408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-62137304152604363262008-09-12T21:09:00.000-07:002008-09-12T21:09:00.000-07:00:) It does bring a smile to the face and I began ...:) It does bring a smile to the face and I began humming 'raspberry beret' to boot.<BR/><BR/>Just read your profile again and no, motherhood didn't eat your career simply redirected it!!

I love this little block. Neat little houses, great colors, cute little gardens.<BR/><BR/>The pepper trees on the block are also the favorites of the local flock of wild green parrotts. Check out the movie The Wild Parrotts of Telegraph Hill to see the life of a similar flock in San Francisco. <BR/><BR/>I like to park on this street when I go to Trader Joe's. The TJ's parking lot is one of the most scarey places in South Pas. Just walking across it to the store is an adventure.<BR/><BR/>The first Trader Joe's to be named that was in South Pasadena beginning in 1967, and the headquarters was in South Pasadena for many years. <BR/><BR/>A few years ago I played in a band at a Halloween Party at the home of the president of Trader Joe's. Rumor has it that he started out with the company standing on the corner wearing a gorilla suit and holding a sign to get people to come into the store.Mister Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405041951237611622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-17271808650980705032008-09-12T18:43:00.000-07:002008-09-12T18:43:00.000-07:00Cute cottage but the shocking pink color is too mu...Cute cottage but the shocking pink color is too much for my taste LOL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-29588031530524993442008-09-12T18:22:00.000-07:002008-09-12T18:22:00.000-07:00It does make me wonder if Ken and Barbie will answ...It does make me wonder if Ken and Barbie will answer.

But I draw the line at aqua/teal type colors. I don't know why, but I didn't even like using those Crayolas as a kid, so the aversion runs deep somehow. Blue is good, green is good, the in between is not so good.USelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551995221350532168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-5266758235834264672008-09-12T10:51:00.000-07:002008-09-12T10:51:00.000-07:00I'm a fan of little pink housesI'm a fan of little pink housesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-67201456331182639992008-09-12T07:40:00.000-07:002008-09-12T07:40:00.000-07:00I also like the glass door and what we called a "p...I also like the glass door and what we called a "picture window" when I was a child. They give the house an open, generous look. And the beautiful, dappled lawn... that's a treasure we rarely see in newer neighborhoods, where the trees, if any, are palms that shade only themselves.<BR/><BR/>Laurie, this and other South Pas homes showcased in your blog remind me of times when we had coffee with our neighbors every morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-32519067358298651502008-09-12T03:29:00.000-07:002008-09-12T03:29:00.000-07:00Too cute!
